Manitowoc County relatives of Andrew Boldt, the 21-year-old teaching assistant from West Bend who was killed at Purdue University on Tuesday, were in shock the day after the campus shooting.

"Right now I can't put it into words," said Andrew's uncle, Newton dairy farmer Jay Boldt, on Wednesday. "You hear about stories like this. It's always someone's family it happens to. This time it had to be us."
